An arrest warrant and 10,000-baht reward have been issued for the arrest of a Pattaya man wanted for critically beating his 19-month-old stepdaughter.

Chana Chaloemyat, 31, fled the scene following the brutalizing of the baby girl while her 21-year-old mother was away.

The mother appealed for help to Paveena Hongsakula, director of the Paveena Foundation for Children and Women and has garnered the support of top Royal Thai Police officials.
